Sorry I missed this a couple of days ago - sm [2007-10-02]
Prayers that your son has already found a job and that if he has not, the Lord is leading him in that direction. It is hardest to be a mamma when our kids are hurting or in trouble, but wejust as we have to trust the Lord with our lives, we have to trust Him with thiers. God would not have put him inthis situation without having a better plan for him. Have faith that the Lord will provide, andI will prayfor a mommaI am sure all of us mamma's can relate...

Please pray for a pain-free death for my dear friend Lonna. [2008-09-09]
Lonna is a beautiful young stewardess and mother of a lovely 12-year-old daughter. She has a very aggressive and virulent lung cancer that has spread throughout her body. After a noble fight, she is currently in hospice care to keep her comfortable during her final days. Please pray that Lonna will be kept pain free, comfortable, and at peace until the lord takes her from this earth. She is a wonderful, loving, mother, sister, daughter, and friend who does not deserve to suffer during the final days of her life. May the lord take her soon and relieve her of her pain and suffering forever! http://www.prayforlonna.blogspot.com/

please include a prayer for my friend [2008-08-28]
and her daughter. Daughter is going through an in vitro cycle. had implantation a couple of weeks and was successful implantation. Now she is spotting and cramping. This baby is so very wanted. I am sure many of you know the cost of in vitro is prohibitive as insurance does not pay. This couple will make wonderful, loving parents,and this baby will be raised in a stable, loving environment. To lose this pregnancy after all they have gone through to achieve it would be devastating to them and to my friend, who so desperately wants to see her daughter's dream of motherhood become reality. Please include a prayer that she can carry this pregnancy to term and have the opportunity to be a mom. Thank you all so much.

I went through the same thing. [2008-06-02]
My father died 13 years ago (colon cancer), and my mother died 2 years ago (multiple health problems/ultimate liver failure). My husband I just got a call last night that my uncle is dying of liver failure; he has maybe days to live (my mother My son is performing today at school for a little school idol competition, and I feel like I have no one to call and come see. You are not alone. My husband works a lot too. My kids are 13 and 8 and I stand strong for them. I will pray for you that you too can get over this tough time. I still try to laugh and still need to cry, but I am moving forward and you will too! That baby needs you more than ever and cry when the baby cries, it helps! No matter how silly that sounds. A good cry does wonders. I have faith, but do not attend church. I Sometimes I just listen to religious music (Alan Jackson is my favorite) and it helps soothe me to know that God is with us. He gives us troubles to keep us strong. I will certainly pray that you can move up and on and congrats on the new baby (even if he is six months old). What a joy to have a little one who is healthy and can bring things into perspective for you! Take care, God Bless, and you are definitely not alone in wondering why everyone has been taken from me. My 8-year-old daughter is still struggling with my Mom I also know the feeling of unconditional love from parents, and there (Hugs.)

Thanks for your concern... [2008-05-24]
I am not 30 days late yet, but as of the first of June I will be. I would not be that worried about it, but I am finally in this house 3 years and now I can finally refinance after being in one of those nasty subprime mortgages and with any late payments I cannot refinance for any better interest rate than I have right now. I think the situation has been taken care of though, as my son I just had a major financial crash in April and then my hubbie was in the hospital for a week earlier this month and I was unable to work, so that is why I am in the situation I am in right now. I have already though worked out my budget for June and God willing things are actually starting to look up. Thank you again for your kindness and encouraging words. I just needed some extra support during this major bump in the road that I think is just about over for now. Hope everyone is having a blessed weekend. ~michelle

How is Lillianna? [2008-04-11]
Your message caught my eye, as my little nephew was 8 weeks early and weighed only about 3 pounds at birth. The doc expected to keep him in the hosp. for a month or so, and instead he was released at 3-4 days, just like a fullterm baby. The doc says he is a miracle, and we agree. We know that our prayers have been answered.God is so good!!!! Hope for the same for you! Keep us posted!

Lost my little dog. [2008-04-01]
Need prayers right now. My little Chihuahua was killed by a pit bull. I witnessed this cruel mutilation of Chuy, my little pooch who suffered terriby. We took him to vet, but nothing could be done for him. Vet said there was way too much damage done to his little body. He would never be normal again even if vet could fix some of the wounds. Anyway, I have just been devastated ever since -- about 5 days ago. It is mostly the awful images of him laying there dying that I cannot seem to get out of my head. I hope no one else has to go through this agony as it is almost unbearable. Thank you to all who give their prayers for my dog. I know he is in Heaven now and watched over by Jesus, so no one can harm him anymore -- from that I have some comfort. Thank you for your prayers. SO

Asking for prayers if you have a minute [2008-03-10]
My niece had her baby girl today, 10 weeks early. Her name is Lillianna and she weighs 2 lbs., 8 oz. The Dr, said she was strong, and she's breathing on her own right now, but the next 3 days will tell more. Could you please say a prayer for little Lillianna if you have a moment? Thank you, guys.

I will keep you in my prayers along with Donna and her mom. Please keep me and my granddaughter, Briggitte, in yours. She went to visit the family of her baby, Alex, who is 5 months old on Christmas day and the father wouldn When she tried to get the baby from him, he pushed her, lost his balance and the baby hit his head. They blamed it all on her and called the police who arrested her and sent her to jail on Christmas day. We got her out the next day, but didn Had to get an emergency court order to get the baby back as he is breast fed. Our bills for the lawyer alone were over $2000, bond $500, and now she has to hire lawyer again for another $1200 to fight the battery charge they placed on her. We are broke and she is afraid she may lose the baby if we don We need prayers desparately. Cpr

please pray for [2007-12-22]
my little dog! Sounds crazy to some, but he is like my little boy. He is adaschund and is paralyzed in his back legs. If anyone has a daschund and has gone through this, please email me with some hope. He has been at the vet I am a mess. I am cleaning beddingall the time. He cannot get up to urinate or have a BM, but is still doing so. He is eating and drinking, but just drags his back legs. I know surgery could be an option, but I just cannot afford $2-3000. This is hearbreaking for me and my 11yo and 17yo daughters. He is 7 yrs old. So, please pray for my little boy and please pray for God to give me the strength to help him. Thanks for listening and any prayers sent!

I was called for an interview for this job, [2007-12-11]
and went today. It sounds exciting and different and I said I was interested and would talk to my hubby. The pay isn't bad, but isn't great, but it's hourly and the people who work there seem wonderful, I'd be up and moving around, doing inventory of a horticultural nature, and have great benefits. Two days off at Thanksgiving & Christmas, among others. Free plants that aren't good enough to ship, and that's my luxury expense currently, so that would be a biggie in itself. I think I want to take it. Please pray for guidance in this matter. I'm so burned out on working at home, isolated, that this sounds good to me.

Please pray for my MIL [2007-10-21]
She is in the ICU. She is recently widowed after her husband had a difficult time with COPD, so this has been a terrible year for her. She is a wonderful Christian woman, but suffered horrible abuse as a child from her father and uncle and other male family members. She coped with the horrors with alcohol since the age of 12, and finally quit drinking a couple of years ago. I was already worried about her since her husband died, and now there has been all the coverage on TV about the little girl who was abused. She started drinking again, must have stopped again, and suffered DTs and seizures. My husband is there with her in the ICU, and she is very out of it. Please pray for her. Life is so hard I can't make sense of it.

Prayers - sm [2007-10-16]
You and yours are in my prayers every night. First I pray for the soldiers, and then I pray for the families. Thank you so very much for all that you, your husband and all the soldiers and families do for us and for the United States of America! We can never thank you enough. Whenever I see a soldier in the airport, grocery store, etc. I always thank them. We fly our US flag 365 days a year 24/7 in honor of the military and their families. THANK YOU!!!

The second vet office was MUCH more [2007-08-25]
helpful. They were able to do an ultrasound. When looking at the chest x-rays, they could clearly see the pneumothorax on the very first film. Because they had a series of studies, they were able to see changes that meant the shadows were NOT cancer. CJ did have a pneumothorax, and they treated it by putting in a chest tube. They also gave pain medication. We won't be going back to that first vet office. They don't seem to handle this kind of emergency well at all. In fact I'm going to try to get my money back for the first visit where they only took a chest x-ray at my insistance, and then they missed the correct diagnosis of pneumothorax. Which is so dumb when I went in there saying he was in respiratory distress and that first vet said I was wrong, that he had gastric distress and I needed to stick strictly to dog food. CJ still has the chest tube in, so we are attempting to drain out more air as instructed thru the stopcock, but not having much success. But CJ is smiling and eating and drinking again, so we are quite happy and relieved.

Please pray for CJ [2007-08-22]
My dog CJ is sick. He's not breathing right. As I mentioned elsewhere, chest x-ray showed pneumothorax, but the vet didn't put a tube in - he wants a specialist to see him. There were some shadows over his lungs they saw 5 days ago, but now the x-rays show pneumothorax and the vet is guessing lung cancer. CJ is only 6. Siberians are supposed to be healthy and I already lost Misha at Christmas, so I called the breeders. They want me to take him to another vet one of them has used. I have school and can't miss that, but DH can take him in the morning. Please pray the first vet is wrong and it's just a spontaneous pneumothorax or something curable. He is a sweet, cuddly boy who loves his mama.

Failed for me also - sm [2007-08-14]
I went through this about 6 years ago. I had a couple of miscarriages, then the doctor put me on clomid and it failed too. He suggested an infirtility specialist, and since I was 39 at the time my dh and I decided to look into adoption instead. We adopted our son (Anthony, 9 at the time) in March 2001 and I was pregnant 3 weeks later. I know that this is not the answer for everyone, but I truly believe the Lord wanted our Anthony in our family first. Cora was born in December 2001 and then our baby Tommy was born in November 2003. The message here is do not give up. Pray hard and keep an open mind and ear to what God wants you to do. We had such a strong feeling for the adoption, so figured it must be God sending us that way. I will definitely pray for you, it is the hardest thing in the world to go through. Do not under any circumstances take any blame on you or let your dh take any blame. It is not a blame situation, but part of God Hugs Praying...

Lauren is doing well. She went home [2007-08-04]
in another couple of days, absorbing nutrition fine. She had a little jaundice, but that's not unusual. I have yet to see her beyond pictures, but DH saw her. The pictures of her big brothers holding her are funny - they seem in awe that they have a baby sister of their own. :o>

I'm sorry to hear this Mary. [2007-07-10]
It might even be a brain tumor. Those things can happen with a brain tumor. You're doing the right thing. It's very hard to lose a pet, but I'm sure he had 11 wonderful years and now you are relieving him of his pain. I know you are going to be very sad for at least a couple of weeks, but it will start getting better. You might find it therapeutic to put together a scrap book of pictures or a site on line of your time with your cat. It can be therapeutic. He will always be a part of that time in your life.

Prayer request [2007-05-14]
Good evening, all. I I have been having some health issues for the last few years that have snowballed over the last couple of months. In the last 3 weeks I During the procedure the urologist did a more thorough exam under anesthesia and felt a definite mass in my colon! This may be what has been causing issues with my stomach the last few months. I have to see a GI doctor tomorrow to schedule a colonoscopy. My grandmother had colon cancer, so there is a family history, and I am really scared. I would appreciate your prayers.
